675Rider,

The lock and matching wheel bolts should arrive tomorrow or Saturday.

Should we ever meet you owe me a beer.

On top of that, i just got a flat while out of town this morning, and the nearest dealership is an hour away who "may or may not" have my wheel lock. Looks like my karma is running on fumes at this point
